Offered is a 5.5” x 8.5” handwritten signed letter that Hendricks signed and wrote while he was a Jr. at the U of Miami (1967) to John (of the John J. Smith collection). INCREDIBLE FOOTBALL CONTENT!!!!
Dear John,
I can't think of any particular thrilling moment but one that gave me goose pimples was last week against Notre Dame when I tackled Terry Hanratty twice consecutively for losses while he was trying to pass.
I've played against quite a few great players: Steve Spurrier, Bobby Duhon, Nelson Stokely, Jim Seymour, and Larry Rentz. Being fairly new to this sort of atmosphere I don't know of any All-Americans off hand.
I'm sorry but I have no pictures available — don't even have any for my family.
Thank you for the letter.
Ted Hendricks
